The Day I Will Never Forget From Bhutan 🇧🇹
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- After traveling to over 40 countries, I got used to experiencing different sides of the world, learning about cultures and traditions, and seeing extremes that become normal after a while. Since I have been to Afghanistan, I have not experienced the "wow" effect since last year. But this has changed with my short visit to the Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan.
Bhutan is the country that I believe is the most authentic in the world. It is probably the only country prioritizing "High Value, Low Volume" tourism. "High Value" relates to targeting mindful and responsible visitors, ensuring high revenue per visitor, and supporting a quality tourism infrastructure. Bhutan aims to avoid hyper-tourism and its damaging effect on the environment. The country currently allows only 300,000 visitors per year, which was much less in the past years.
After stepping into Bhutan, let me say I have been officially in every South Asian country. There are so many unique things about Bhutan that are very surprising to the rest of the world:
1. "Bhutan" translates to "Land of the Thunder Dragon."
2. Thimpu is one of only two capital cities in Asia without a single traffic light. (The other is Pyongyang, North Korea.)
3. Bhutan is one of the last countries to introduce television to its people. The government lifted a TV and Internet ban only 25 years ago.
4. National dress is compulsory for Bhutanese citizens.
5. Bhutan has never been conquered.
6. Bhutanese people love chillies.
7. Mountaineering is now banned, as the highest peaks are considered sacred.
8. All tourists must pay a 200 USD fee per day just to be in the country.
9. Bhutan is the ONLY carbon-negative country in the world.
10. Bhutan is known for its unique Gross National Happiness (GNH) philosophy.

Do you enjoy the Bhutan series? Bhutan is truly a magical country. The highlight of this video is Paro Tsechu, one of the most popular festivals in Bhutan. Featuring dances performed by trained monks and laymen in amazing masks and costumes, Tsechus (festivals) are one of the best ways to experience the ancient living culture of Bhutan. The Tshechu holds religious significance and is held to commemorate the birth anniversary of Guru Padmasambhava, the patron saint of Bhutan who introduced Tantric Buddhism in Bhutan. 🇧🇹❤
Pls go Back To the Phils. davus we miss u here
I'm sure it's great, but video lengths are too long for my liking
Nice culture and I really like their national dress
Nice place, culture, nice people! I think zero crime too! I like the way they preserve tha place or the nature!
Why don't you try home stay in Bhutan. You can experience local stay and local dishes.
Being a Bhutanese, I respect the government decision to restrict the number of tourists. But to have a guest like Davud, we need to encourage more tourists like him. Seriously, he’s too kind to our people. Much love brother. Subscribed 🙏
Thank you so much ❤ Loved your country 🇧🇹
Am watching from the south east of sri lanka & am very impressed in what am seeing in bhutan .. ' its authentic in many natural aspects ...' wondering now how the visa works for sri lankens ...
Love the spirit of the kids .. so optimistic & curious ...
Sir Davud, ever in my life if someone ask me what I wanted to become, trust me I would take your name, not for visiting my country but for accentuating the aura and brightening the smile of everyone who come across you. May you be blessed always. You are one the most cherished guest among many.
That is very sweet comment that reflects your heart. Thank you! 🇧🇹❤️
On behalf of Bhutanese people, I would like to thank you for your contribution made to roadside business people.
Your country is beautiful I hope to visit in the future. Every country should be proud of their heritage.
Bhutan is beautiful love from India🇮🇳❤🇧🇹
(๑`✪̤◡✪̤)◞ღԵհɑղƘՏღ🇧🇹🤝🇮🇳
The kids are so cute and welcoming
They were so cute, and so brave to talk to a stranger the way they did. So sweet! ❤️🇧🇹
In Bhutan stranger danger rule is not applicable since there is no kidnapping and child trafficking, that’s why you see kids all over without guidance.
I can see my uncle in your video 😊.
This shows how small my country is😊
Usually i don't have the patience to watch long vlogs but your vlogs especially mesmerizes me n i can't put it down n watch till the very end. Especially when its about my own country Bhutan🇧🇹. Truly our country is beautiful n am to proud to be born here. You have done justice to the video n captured the true essence of Bhutan which is GNH meaning Gross National Happiness. Our country does not have much of product but we have happiness which i am sure is what everyone pursues.
Thank you so much for taking time to watch it all, love to Bhutan 🇧🇹
So charming girls. Children are very kind there. Grown ups are calm, kind people, not wealthy but pleased, they are buddists, harmony in their souls. Some are good looking, very pleasant. I like them, their country, unusual culture, nature is splendid. Thank you Davud for this video😊
His interaction with the kids was da best
The most important thing for them is their religion, their soul I think. Very wise people, calm and kind.
One thing we need to remember is that it’s not only the tourist who are not allowed to carry the camera in some places, even the locals are not allowed as the country wants to respect the sacred places due to religious reason and respect the area..
I am crying author. You are such a kind hearted human
David, one of your best videos yet. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
